Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have just discovered you! I have read all of Sharon Kay Penman’s books and when I saw you recommended in a magazine a few months ago I bought “The Last Kingdom”, am now just finishing “The Pale Horseman” and of course have ordered “Lords of the North”. I love your writing and storytelling. I love Uhtred and as a woman I find the “bad boy” wild Dane exciting, what a guy! I hate King Alfred, for how he has treated Uhtred and Iseult, forcing her to become a Christian and yet using her healing powers, and being indecisive on the battlefield. He should have been an archbishop instead of a King. I love so many of characters in the books and I just wanted to let you know you have another fan. Best Regards, Marilyn
